Hello, Elsome HT contains hydroquinone, steroid and tretinoin. It is a good cream and helps rejuvnate skin and also reduce pigmentation. Results take 1 to 2 months to show. Since it contains Mometasone which is a steroid make sure you do not continue for long time as can have harmful effects and to stop after two months and shift over to milder creams which are safer. Consult a dermatologist.

Hi lybrate-user,
melacare should not be used for more than a month. If you do end up using it for long. I request you to use biluma. Its a cream with very little to no side effects.
Melacare longterm use has side effects.
Please always consult. Take care.

Cosmolite cream contains hydroquinone and topical steroid which is not advisable to use without consultation or used for a very long time. It thins out the skin apart from causing other various side effects. For now stop using it completely. Use a mild facial cleanser and moisturise your skin well. Use sunscreen in the morning and afternoon. Protect your face from direct sunlight. Further treatment would require a photographic consultation.
